The automotive industry required an upgrade path from the legacy network to an updated network platform. The AANX network provided this platform by combining high reliability, security and authentication and compliance with up-to-date IP network standards in one package.

Leadtec acts as the EDI Application Service Provider (ASP) for AANX, supplying the EDI message mailboxes for AANX trading partners and the interconnect to the legacy network. Leadtec also handled the in-flight translation between trading partners’ in-house systems and the standardised ANSI and EDIFACT messaging formats. This alleviates the need for trading partners to have this capability and required expertise in-house.
